When you are feeling demotivated it is quite easy to get stuck in a rut and be unsure of what will inspire you again. Especially if you work from home, the same four walls surrounding you every single day can get a little boring, and you can start to feel like your muse is being suffocated. You may have already made some changes to your office as it is the main room you dedicate to work, but have you ventured into other parts of your home? Just a few simple changes can help you see things in a different light, and fill you with the creativity you have been missing. You don’t have to commit to a full redecoration of your entire home – a few accent pieces can help your place to feel like new. Here are a few changes you can make to knock down the wall blocking your inspiration and creativity, and feel rejuvenated.
Flooring
One aspect of a room that can define it and set the dynamic for the entirety of its decoration is the flooring. You have plenty of options to choose from, and especially if you have had carpet for a long time, it may be a nice change to have easily cleanable hardwood floors. This may seem like a pricey option, however, like Everything Flooring explains: a change in flooring can dramatically change up a room’s feel and appearance. You could even research into a personal loan calculator to see if you can offset some of the cost – if you are looking at high-quality wood floors. Going for a deep wood floor could help the room to appear darker and relaxing, or contrasting a dark wood floor with a light paint could help the room to appear brighter. It may be nice to help your bedroom feel extremely relaxing, so you have a haven to retreat to after a long days work for a good night’s sleep. On the contrary, having a bright lounge may help you to wake up in the mornings with a coffee and be ready for the day ahead. Asking yourself what you want from each room, and choosing your flooring based on that want will aid your daily routine, and help you to be more productive. Even though you may be paying out for the change, it may bring in more profit from your business due to increased inspiration and motivation.
Create An Accent Wall
If you are quite in love with your decor already, you may not want to make a big change like flooring. Choosing a wallpaper that complements the feel and look of the room could make the subtle change you need. Choosing a main wall for a feature wall, potentially the wall you spend most of your time looking at, could be more inspiring than you think.
Accessories and Trinkets
Sometimes underestimated, switching up the accessories and trinkets that accent your decoration can have a huge impact on any room. Knowing how to use items like artwork, rugs, throw pillows etc. can help to enhance already in place decoration and pull a room together. This is the cheapest way to make a room feel like new and inject a little of your personality.
Just making a simple change can help you to climb out of the rut you’ve been in or break down the writer’s block that everyone sometimes feels. You don’t have to break the bank to make the decor in a few of the main rooms in your home feel like new.
